Kansas City Chiefs waive rookie RB
Digest more
The Kansas City Chiefs have a bit of a backfield logjam. The returners include Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt and Carson Steele. Then you add in veteran Elijah Mitchell, brought over after time with the 49ers, and rookie Brashard Smith, who starred at SMU. There probably isn't room for every one of those guys in the RB room.
Twitchy Wake Forest Demon Deacons running back Demond Claiborne would be a great addition to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2026 NFL draft.
The Chiefs drafted Brashard Smith in the seventh round out of SMU, so it seems likely he'll make the team, too. Kansas City may keep Carson Steele, too. He's been listed as a fullback.
The Kansas City Chiefs revealed a new running back injury on the final day of training camp, explaining the recent Michael Wiley RB signing.
